Tarmac Driveways in Wigan and the surrounding area
Tarmac is a good fit for a Wigan driveway, and the weather is a large part of why. It is water resistant, so rain runs off the surface rather than working into it, and there are no joints for frost or weeds to get a hold in. It takes daily vehicle traffic, it needs very little maintenance, and it covers a large area for less than a fully paved drive.
We excavate the driveway, then lay and compact the sub-base before laying the tarmac and rolling it to a smooth, even finish. The falls are set so water runs to the road rather than towards the house, and the edges are finished in block or kerb, which holds the tarmac in place so it does not fret at the perimeter. A block paved border is worth thinking about for that reason as much as for the look of it, since it lifts a plain tarmac drive and locks the edge at the same time.
What’s included
- Excavation and a compacted sub-base

Why us
Why choose THB Contractors
We have been laying driveways and surfacing in Wigan and across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire for over 20 years. You are trusting someone to dig up the front of your property, or to take a car park out of use for a few days, so it is worth knowing how we work first. We look at the job properly before we price it, we build the base for the ground we actually find, and the same team is with you from the first visit to the last sweep-up.
Wigan and the WN1 postcodes are somewhere we work regularly. Our base is in Bolton, covering Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, and that reaches out past Wigan to Up Holland, Skelmersdale, Burscough, Downholland Cross and Aughton. All of them are covered from the same base as the town.
Over 20 years’ experience
We have laid driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West for two decades, and people know us for quality workmanship and reliable, tidy jobs.
A written, itemised quote
We come and see the job, then give you the price in writing, so there are no surprises once we start work.
The base done properly
Most surfaces fail from underneath, so we build the base for the ground we actually find rather than one standard dig-out for every job.
The same people throughout
You get the same team from the quote to the last day, so the people who priced the job are the people doing it.
Domestic and commercial
We handle a single driveway and a full car park the same way, planning and pricing each with the same care.
The price
What affects the price
We price Wigan jobs after a free site visit rather than off a description, so what you are quoted is based on the work that is actually in front of us.
The main things that move the figure:
- The area and the depth of excavation needed
- The edging chosen and any kerbing
- Access for the paver, wagons and roller
- Falls, and any new edgings
